Well said, gravitas. Soak up as much knowledge as you can ... only then will you know what's important and what's not when it actually comes to playing an instrument. It's all very well to talk, think, debate, discuss and banter on about how music works and the seemingly infinite ways of describing how those 12 notes and time can interact, but when it comes to real time playing, you need to find your 'zone'. Keep learning as much as you can and you'll know it when you get there... and when you do, you'll realize how much more there is to learn.
